Tell me what you think of yours. looks like an awesome bike!

Is the 113 cubic inches explosive?

Does is handle the twisties decent for a chopper style bike?

Thanks

So are you just waiting for it to be delivered? Because if you already have it I would assume you'd know the answer to your questions from the original post. :humm:

It looks plush to me, but does the Raider have much difference from the Road Star's Warrior? I've been wanting to test ride one of those...

KeithB didn't you purchase a ZZR not long ago? Or more than likely I'm mistaken for a different Keith...?

If I could afford one I'd have one. I've read good reviews about it and it looks sweet.

I bought one Friday. Candy red with flames S model. Dealer went to get it today, i sat on it, very nice machine. I pick it up Tuesday.

That was me who bought the ZZR600, traded it in

If you don't mind me asking, why the trade in? Something about the ZZR turn you off or just decided to get a cruiser? I mean the Raider is quite a different direction from the ZZR. And congratulations, it certainly is an awesome looking bike and I have to imagine 113 ci sounds and feels quite good :twisted: .

Keith is a textbook example of what the medical manuals politely term a "bike mean"...

You ask alot of questions for a guy with 5 posts 8)

I miss the long rides into the Adirondacks, so a cruiser was once again needed.

The ZZR is to tame, plan to pick up a litter sportbike in the spring
